if i recall correctly in some letter or other he expressed sympathy with hitler because "jews were annoying".

heres a time article: https://time.com/5937507/roald-dahl-anti-semitism/

here the quote from the article: Later that same year, he doubled down on his statements in an interview with the British magazine New Statesman. “There is a trait in the Jewish character that does provoke animosity, maybe it’s a kind of lack of generosity towards non-Jews,” he said. “I mean, there’s always a reason why anti-anything crops up anywhere; even a stinker like Hitler didn’t just pick on them for no reason.”

I will keep that in mind, thanks. What makes it especially ironic is that Hitler did something very similar in Mein Kampf, arguing that he used to be totally repulsed by anti-semitism, and he thinks that, overall, every fair-minded person believes it's boorish and backwards to be prejudiced against a fellow man for their religion. Going on to say that his views changed because the Jews are completely beyond the pale with their criminality and nepotism.

Jeez, though, it's beyond bizarre hearing the same thing in only slightly more restrained words from Dahl. He claimed to have been personally involved with moving German families (living in British territories in Africa) to concentration camps at gunpoint, when the war broke out - he brags about having tricked them into it in his book.

honestly that doesn't surprise me. people who think domination is sometimes ok...think the domination is what's cool, not the reason supposedly justifying it.
